Another week, another Monday. This Monday was particularly bad for me. It's always difficult getting back into a routine. I got spoiled with no responsibility last week, but it was back to reality today. I was completely unmotivated at work. I didn't really accomplish that much. I've vowed to myself to do better tomorrow. My husband called me at 6pm and said he was just leaving work. Awesome! I had to cook dinner and deal with 3 kids all by myself. Then when he finally got home, he said he wasn't hungry. At least my younger son who has been sick and not eating that much lately, ate my spaghetti. That made it all worth it!

As promised, I'm wearing my new Spring-Ready Dress. I think I called it the Ready For Spring dress yesterday. I'm so confused. Anyway, I knew it had something to do with being ready for spring. LOL! It reached 80 degrees again today. It's suppose to be in the 50's tomorrow, so I knew if I was going to wear this dress, today was the day. I discovered this morning that the slip that came with this dress has adjustable straps. I was afraid when I tried it on in the store that the slip underneath was too low cut, but the adjustable straps solved that problem. The slip also came in handy when I was walking into work. It was very windy today, and the slip kept me from having a Marilyn moment. LOL! The dress is a little wrinkle prone, but not too bad. These pics were taken after a long day at work. I'm wearing a size small, and I have plenty of room. The elastic waist and pockets make this dress so comfy.

Today's song is "Apartment Song" by The National. I've been on a The National kick lately. This is one of my favorite songs by them. I think this song is about not wanting to face the responsibility of adulthood and just stay inside, forget the world, and be happy. I can really relate to this today.

Well, I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow, now that Monday is out of the way. I'll be announcing the details of my contest soon, so stayed tuned for that. Oooh, it's raining outside and we just had some thunder and lightning. A harbinger of spring maybe? Have a great night!
